Sensitive Parents: How to Raise a Child Capable of Healthy Relationships with Themselves and the World

The book «Sensitive Parents» by Dr. Shimi Kang is a guide to parenting based on balance and flexibility, unlike authoritarian or overloaded parenting styles. All parents want their children to be happy. But how differently they envision it! Tiger parents see happiness in success, which they equate only with a future prestigious job and high status. They stop at nothing to achieve this goal. Excessive workload, constant parental control, and strict dictation are how the childhood of a child, whom they decided to make happy at any cost, unfolds. But is it really true that a full-blooded life with its joys is incompatible with high achievements, and one must choose either one or the other? Can’t we raise healthy, harmonious, and genuinely prosperous children at the same time? Yes, we can, says Shimi Kang, a specialist in child mental health and the mother of two sons and a daughter, and she offers her method—the dolphin way—a strategy of sensitive, authoritative parenting. She has walked this path numerous times with her patients and leads her children along it. Now she reveals this path to us and is ready to become our guide and mentor.
